What an interesting ship that could have been, too. Daniel could have brought out Louis’ sense of humor, which he DOES have. Daniel basically did ask Louis to turn him and got majorly rejected. Louis was only interested in a kayak for one at that time, or to draw Lestat out from wherever he was by painting him as a horrible monster to provoke him into breaking out a can of whoop-ass or correct the record, or both.
Hi guys! Due to a very unexpected and unwanted expenditure, I’m very low in funds. So I’m opening up commissions again.
If you’re interested in commissioning me, send me a fanmail or preferably an email to injureddreams@gmail.com with the subject ‘COMMISSION’. Don’t send me Asks here. Sadly, asks get eaten :<
So here is a list of my prices and examples for commissions. I DO take NSWF but they can only be in sketch format.
If you can commission me it would be wonderful. If you can’t, please pass this along for others to see. I would really appreciate it.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. ♥
If you don’t want to commission me at the moment, I have a Society6 and StoreEnvy if you guys want to check out some of the merch (still a work in progress on both fronts).
I can’t agree with you, bc I’m not sure if you’re being silly, in more of a Tumblrland Hyperbole™ way, but I’m feeling like defending him a little.
In general I don’t like to categorize characters as one thing, they’re multi-dimensional, and they evolve and change through canon, despite their physical appearances staying the same.
[textmeme by armandromanus, who deactivated so I can’t link to it] ^This is really perfect for this conversation, bc you can tell by the expression @armandromanus chose in that pic that Armand does know that others often perceive him purely based on his looks, and how very wrong they are to do so.
It’s kind of sad to see such a rich and layered character so often reduced to a sex object. There’s a lot more to him than that. He struggles with the concept of intimacy bc it’s not just about sex.
I don’t think Armand thinks of himself as just some sextoy regardless of how many ppl offer him sex even now; he’s actually very selective about those he allows to get close to him physically and emotionally, when he has the independence to choose.
There are a number of times in Armand’s life in which he has been ravaged, totally against his will, just because of how he looks or acts.
Any Armand RPers are invited and welcome to add onto this.
A few thoughts on the quote you selected, hit the jump.
You might also be misreading that quote, it doesn’t seem like he’s admitting that he deserves to be treated like a sex object, more that he seems to be calling ppl out on their assumptions about young boys deserving to be treated like sex objects, and not requiring as much respect as an adult. He takes issue with the fact that since someone calls him “a guilty cunning child,” he deserves to be “ravaged”.
“Everyone would have a laughing boy who knows his way around the block […]”
^This sounds more like he’s saying, “People want a lover who’s easy to please and/or will happily serve skilled sex…” Basically, a prostitute, for free.
“but young boys? They’re not like men, are they?”
^This sounds more like he means, “young boys don’t need to be treated with the same respect you would treat an adult.”
What is next for me is another novel with Lestat, as he probes deeper into the origins of the vampires and the origins of human beings, another novel about his never ending quest for meaning, and his deep acknowledgment that he will always be an outsider know matter how much he is loved. Lestat has always been obsessed with goodness, and evil, and that will continue in my next book, of course.
